Great video, thanks so much! Have you ever tried cracking them as you put them in the ice bath? That is what I usually do and the peel almost always comes off in practically one piece! I think the water getting into the egg while cooling makes them really easy to peel. Again, thanks so much for great videos and all of the testing you do for us! 😘

Have been looking for verification that I can stack eggs in a ninja/pressure-cooker and it should be fine, is that correct you seem to say so, I'm just double checking since every other video I found where only carefully putting in 1 layer of eggs that don't even touch each other. (I used to boil 18 at a time, but not that I have the ninja where there seems to be room for so much more it feels like a waste to not do 36 or whatever.) I'm just afraid there is a reason I'm not seeing which will for example explode all the eggs or something. (having never used a pressure cooker before and I'm pretty new to the Ninja.)
@TheSaltedPepper2 жыл бұрын
I just did 18 eggs yesterday and a few were on top of each other, they cooked just fine in the basket. There isn't any danger in stacking them. You can absolutely try to do 36 at once, the only thing that might happen is some might not be fully cooked if the steam can't circulate around them.

For several years I've been telling people in the Instant Pot Facebook group that 5-5-5 is only a starting point. Altitude and egg size can affect the outcome, so experiment first with one or two eggs. Then alter the timing as needed. It sounds as though 4-4-4 might be a better starting point. 5-5-5 didn't work for me years ago, so I also experimented and settled on 6 minutes LOW pressure, 3 NPR, then ice bath. I can't remember if I ever tried 4-4-4, but I will next time I make boiled eggs. I just cooked some today, so next week.

I haven't ever had an issue with breaking but I wonder how that affects the cooking being closer to the heating element. Also I find my eggs peel best in the winter because I go outside and throw a bunch of snow in my water until it turns to slush and then use that. The extra cold water seems to help.

I understand what you are saying, but there is so much more to it than you might think. What most people don’t realize when watching a video is how difficult it is to film one. A 10 minute video can take an hour or more to film and there are breaks in there. The older I get, the more I forget what I’ve already covered. It’s unreal how many times I ask Jeff if I said this or that or covered this or that. He is usually really good at cutting out repeats, but might not catch them all. On other occasions, he leaves them in because even if what I said is similar to something I said earlier, different people learn differently and one way of me saying it doesn’t click, but the other way does. It’s truly a process that you really can’t comprehend unless you make videos for a living. What I can promise you is I don’t ever repeat myself just to make a video longer, I want them only as long as they need to be and I work on that skill every single day. It’s harder than it looks! 🤣

Greetings from the Mile Hi City! 5-5-5 is DEFINITELY not the formula here. I tried 3-3-3, but the pressure function on my Foodi is a bit wonky-sometimes it takes forever to come to pressure, so those eggs were also overdone. Also since I’m cooking for 1 most of the time I’m doing 3-6 eggs at most and I think that could make a difference? Regardless, the fact that the pot doesn’t always come up to pressure in any kind of reasonable time (or at all) makes me a little anxious about using that function-I don’t trust it not to ruin the food.

I did the same experiment. I have never seen the browning mentioned in the video and in some of the comments, maybe because I always use the tall rack and not the basket, but I have definitely seem the green ring and the fact that they are over done and somewhat rubbery. I came to 4:30, 4 and whatever for the ice bath. I get a fluffy yellow yolk and perfect texture whites. I added the 30 secs to the pressure cycle because I use extra large and sometimes jumbo eggs. You need to tune the timing to what you are using because larger eggs are slightly under cooked and small eggs can be over cooked if you always use the same timing for all sizes.

What I call QR (Quick Release) is what Louise calls NR (Natural Release). When I push the lever to the right hand side, I call that Quick Release…am I calling it wrong?

A Quick or immediate release is when you immediately turn the valve to release pressure after pressure cooking. A natural release is when you do nothing and the pot cools dow which reduces pressure. A timed release is a combination of the two. So, in this recipe, it’s a 4 minute natural natural release followed by a quick release. Hope that clears it up. 😁

@@TheSaltedPepper Okay Louise, thank you. I feel I knew that at one point, but for some reason, all of a sudden QR and NR all sounded so confusing. Okay, so I’ll continue doing the QR or the combo of NR and QR. I did just NR for 10 minutes (I know, I forgot about them, lol) the other night and the eggs are good but the egg yolk is a tad dry but still so tasty. No dark ring around it though, so that was good. Thanks for clearing that up once again Louise, I appreciate you! Happy Easter to you and hubby!

Brilliant Louise. Followed the method exactly in my 6qt Instant Pot. All came out perfect. Great for making the best pickled eggs too 👍

Yes! My eggs often have the green ring and I didn’t realize it’s from overcooking. Now I have ‘permission’ from an expert like you to make some changes. I make hard boiled eggs every week and just eat the whites. Thank you for another helpful video!

I have been doing my egg's at 3 and 3 and 3 they come out perfect. I think it depends on where you live. I do not live near an ocean, closer to praise land .

How can I get the yolks to be and stay in the middle??? Mine are always too close to the edge
@TheSaltedPepper2 жыл бұрын
That is such a good question! Unfortunately, I don't really have an answer. What I've noticed is my fresh chicken eggs from my backyard chickens almost always go towards the edge, while the store-bought ones stay in the middle. I have wondered if this is due to age. You can try to put them in an egg mold with the pointy side up and see if that helps. I'll have to delve into that one!
